How to Dress Like Fall When It's Still Hot Outside & Grace + Lace Link Up

Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was really great! Mine was lovely!

Thursday was the first day of fall. It seems like everyone, myself included, is super excited. But, the weather isn't all too excited. Lately, it has been in the high 80's and 90's. I don't know about you, but to me, that's not fall weather. I don't think it's got the memo yet.

I have been trying to find ways to dress like fall without being too hot. Here are 5 ways to do just that.

1. Wear Fall Colors

I am such a big fall colors fan. I can't ever get enough of the rich jewel tones that come with fall. Some colors that are big this fall are olive, mustard, pumpkin, blush, burgundy, and grey. By wearing these {and other} fall colors, you can easily transform your outfit to look like fall with having to wear a scarf and sweater.

I shared 4 fabulous colors for fall {and some super cute shoppable pieces in those colors} >>here<<.

2. Light Layers

Layers that are light and breezy are perfect for when it's blazing outside, but you want to look like fall. Wearing light layers gives the appearance of a fall outfit, but keeps you cool during those still hot days.

3. Vests

Vests are a super great example of light layers above. Because vests don't cover your arms, they keep you so much cooler than a sweater or jacket. Here are a few super cute vest options:

4. Textures

Wearing clothes that have sweater-like textures, are quilted, etc., make it appear like your outfit is fall without feeling super hot.

5. Fall Shoes

Another awesome way to dress like fall even when it still feels like summer is to pull out your flats and booties. I love the look of booties with dresses, and leopard flats go with everything. Below are a few great fall shoes options:
